The accurate knowledge of the 151Sm(n,γ) cross section has important implications for
the nuclear technologies as well as for fundamental studies. Due to its radioactivity, the only
experimental data available on 151Sm were derived from a transmission measurement [1].
Nowadays thanks to the innovative features of neutron time-of-flight facility (n_TOF), it was
possible to measure 151Sm(n,γ) cross section in a wide energy range and with good accuracy [2]. We present, here, the main experimental results together with the implications concerning the
nuclear astrophysical part.
